Its not syntactically correct, if/then else can only have one command between then and else, and no ;.  To do block of code between then and else you use do; and end;, per:

data work.xx1;
  set work.xx;
  where intra_ind='N';
  if msg_id='NO MSG' then do;
    relationship_id=globl_cust_id;
    relationship_name=cus_name;
  end;
  else do;
    ...
  end;
run;

You need a slightly different syntax with multiple "then" results:

 

if MSG_ID = 'NO MSG' then do;

   RELATIONSHIP_ID = GLOBL_CUST_ID ;

   RELATIONSHIP_NAME = CUS_NAME;

end;

else ...
